Nightshade
Jet-class strike UAV
At 700 km/h, defences that were built for slower threats become predictable. Nightshade is designed around that gap: fast enough to arrive before a response, and independent enough that jamming does not end the mission.
It navigates on inertial and terrain cues, retargets in flight, and comes home under a parachute to fly again.

Speed
A turbojet takes it to 700 km/h, with 45 minutes of endurance.
GPS-denied navigation
Inertial navigation and terrain-following hold its course when satellite signals are jammed or spoofed.
Precision
Anti-radiation homing and AIS maritime targeting keep it accurate in cluttered battlespace.
Recoverable
Parachute recovery and a modular payload bay make every airframe reusable.
